CAMP Medical
Medical Care at CAMP CH-YO-CA!
First and foremost, we ask that you monitor your child’s health before their camp session. If they show any symptoms, please keep them at home. Our office staff will work with you to come in later if your child is well.
Camp CH-YO-CA has a Registered Nurse and/or other health care professional on the grounds for the entirety of every Camp Session.
Our Nurse will be at registration, ready to meet you and your camper and take all medications.
Our Nurse’s station is stocked with common medications. Please fill out all the medical forms, so we know how to treat your camper.
If your child takes regular medication, please bring it in its original container inside a Ziplock bag marked with your child’s name, medication, and dosage. Please also include a slip of paper with any other details.
We allow counselors to keep camper’s rescue inhalers and EpiPens on their person.
CH-YO-CA Health and Safety Plan
It's a team effort!
Camp CH-YO-CA is blessed to partner with an advisory team of Physicians and Nurses every summer. We work closely with our Summer nurses to monitor and support each Camper's health.
Best Practices
We have gathered these practices after thorough research and review of plans put together by the CDC, the Christian Camping and Conference Association, and other top summer camps in the nation.
Air Quality
We've installed medical-grade air filtration systems in all enclosed air-conditioned buildings.
Constant Hand Sanitation Program
At CH-YO-CA, we make high-percentage alcohol-based hand sanitizer available in every camper cabin and throughout Camp. Additionally, our staff encourages every Camper to use hand sanitizer before each meal and after each restroom stop.
Keeping Separate
Our New Nurses Hut is solely dedicated to sick campers' it has two isolation rooms for use in the unfortunate event that a camper displays symptoms of illness. Our nurses employ specific quarantine protocols at each of our overnight camps to ensure that the particular sickness is caught and contained quickly.
Keep It Clean
Every cabin at CH-YO-CA is rigorously cleaned daily by campers and staff according to our disinfectant protocol. Bathrooms are sanitized, floors are mopped, and surfaces are disinfected. Our directors oversee this daily process. Additionally, each session change means we take the opportunity to perform a deep and intensive entire camp sanitizing protocol.
Partnering With Parents
We know that you want the best for your child, and we want them to have the best experience possible. That's why any parent whose child has had a fever or illness within 72 hours of their session is asked to contact our Director to evaluate the best options for everyone's health and safety.
Prayer
CH-YO-CA employs numerous systems and protocols to ensure that our facilities, staff, and campers stay safe, clean, and healthy. However, the most important thing we do as an organization is faithfully praying in advance for every Camper and staff who walks through our gates. We pray they experience an unforgettable summer of friendships, fun, and growing in a healthy and safe environment.
Rapid Response
In the event that an illness – including COVID-19 – presents at CH-YO-CA, our protocol is to Isolate, Confirm, Respond, and Remove the impacted Camper. Of course, we will communicate closely with the Camper's family and handle any case with CH-YO-CA love and care.
